Hey Albert,<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your kind words regarding pd-l2ork. Really
appreciate it!<br>
<br>
Regarding your question, I did not change the default font sizes in
iemguis so it is likely that the pd/extended did this in the 0.43
branch which we haven't yet integrated into pd-l2ork since the 0.43
codebase is still a moving target. I suspect changing this will be
probably either per-object specific or located somewhere inside
iem_all_guis.h. I can definitely investigate further when I get a
chance. That said, this should have no bearing on loading existing
patches since patches save iemgui objects' font sizes so patches
made in other versions of pd should still look the same inside
pd-l2ork.<br>
<br>
HTH<br>

Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Ico<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Ico (and everybody else on this list),
Dave's most recent Pd article in Linux Journal prompted me to finally
take a look at pd-l2ork, and I must say that I like it very much. Thanks
to the Tk 8.5 themeing support, it looks much better than either
Pd-extended or vanilla, has all the nifty GUI improvements of
pd-extended, and the ability to graphically resize GUI elements and gop
areas is something that I hoped to see in Pd for a very long time.
That said, I do have a question concerning the font sizes of the IEM GUI
elements. I'm running the 20120407 developer snapshot of pd-l2ork on
Ubuntu 11.04, using Tcl/Tk 8.5. As the attached screenshots show, the
labels of the IEM GUI elements are rendered much larger than in either
vanilla or pd-extended. This appears to be the same no matter which
default font I choose with the -font-face command line option.
The larger fonts do look nice to me, since they make the IEM GUI
elements stick out a bit, but obviously this may cause problems with
patches created with vanilla or pd-extended, since the bigger labels may
not fit when the patch is used with pd-l2ork.
My question is, is this intentional or an accident? If the former, is
there a way to globally scale the font sizes of the IEM GUI elements, so
that they appear in the same size as for vanilla/pd-extended without
having to modify the patches? I've been looking at the Tk GUI code in
pd-l2ork, but the font selection logic there is rather involved and I
wasn't able to figure it out myself so far. Thus any help would be very
much appreciated.
Thanks,
Albert
